New and enhanced features
Lesson Planner
We are pleased announce our initial release of Lesson Planner just in time for start of the new school year for many schools and districts. Lesson Planner was developed to offer teachers a simple, searchable, collaborative tool to organize and manage their lessons. For many users who have access to Unit Planner, Lesson Planner will also serve as an extension of Stage 3: Learning Activities.
With Lesson Planner, users can:
- Create Lesson Plans: Create and edit lesson plans using a format of your choice or one of our available templates. Users can also add relevant assessments and resources for better organization.
- View and Search Lessons: Users are able to access and manage lessons on the homeroom or via a calendar view. Lessons can be organized by the day, week or month, and can be easily aligned to subjects, grades, and courses for greater search ability.
- Align Lessons to Units: Users that have access to Unit Planner will be able to align lessons to any associated unit. Authors or team members can create a new lesson from within a unit, and view all corresponding lesson plans in Unit Planner under Stage 3: Learning Activities. Authors and collaborators can see details of their own lessons, as well as those of other team members.
- Align Lessons to Standards and Assessments: Within a lesson, users can align to any relevant standards made available by their school or district. If the lesson has been aligned to a unit, only standards that have been selected in the associated unit will be available to facilitate greater alignment.
- Export Lessons into PDF: All lessons can be exported into a PDF document.
Customer Care will continue to help you with support issues and answer any questions you have as always. Please don't hesitate to contact them!
Resolved issues
- Institute Learning Paths dropping content: Assets such as Videos and Files would be removed from Learning Paths within Institutes if the Seat Time was adjusted in certain circumstances. This is now resolved.
- Unit Exports: If videos were embedded in the description of a resource the Unit export would not export correctly. This is now resolved.
- Performance: Some performance improvements were made in various areas with more to come!
